TERRITORY NOTES.
Delegate Dennis T. Flynn is ex-
pected to arrive home at Guthrie
about the 10th.
The Chandler News acknowl-
edges the receipt of the Ardmore (I.
T.) Appeal of July 42, 1902.
A payment of $495,000 was paid
to the Osages last week at Pawhuska,
Indian territory.
The Ardmore Appeal notes the
fact of about 15,000 daily attend-
ance in that city during the reunion
of the old confederate soldiers.
John Purdy, aged 15 years, shot
and killed Thomas Blunt, a negro
boy, at McLoud July 28. Purdy
then jumped on a freight train and
escaped.
The territorial superintendent of
instruction, L. W. Baxter, is receiv-
ing many letters from teachers in
the states asking information rela-
tive to securing schools in Oklahoma.
The U. S. marshals of the Indian
territory are raiding all gambling
houses, arresting gamblers and burn-
ing their devices. They are also
closing all "hop ale" and Sinco's
Mead" joints and arresting their
operators.
A new trust company and saving
institution has been organized at Ok-
lahoma City with a capital of $200,-
000. • Dr. John Threadgill, formerly
superintendent of the territorial san-
itarium, is at the head of the institu-
tion. There are several other
wealthy citizens interested in the en-
terprise. The company will do a
general trust and savings bank busi-
ness. It will take out a charter at
once and open for business about
September 1.
Over 13,000 of the 15,000 Creeks
have received their full allotments of
160 acres, 700 have received partial
allotments and only about 300 who
have been regularly enrolled yet re-
main to receive their land.—St ill well
(I. T.) Standard.
Judge W. R. Buckner, of Guthrie,
who was debarred by Judge J. L.
McAtee from practicing in the Fifth
district for one year, is trying to
have the decision set aside. He has
consulted Judge Beauchamp and the
latter will hear the case August 8.
O. P. Elliott and A. R. Garrett, of
Greer county,were in Guthrie August
2 to consult with the redistricting
commission relative to the final dis-
position of Greer county to another
county and ask that the entire county
be made into one representative dis-
trict.
A regular Sunday job nowdays for
the Oklahoma farmer is to take a
pole and walk through his orchard
and pound off peaches, apples and
pears to keep the tree from breaking
down. Overbearing will kill trees if
it does not break the limbs.—King-
fisher Free Press.
Charley Hunter, wrto has probably
seen more of Oidahoma during the
last month than any other single in-
dividual, says that there is a third
more corn growing in the territory
this year than any previous year ; he
reports having seen many fields that
will go from 50 to 65 bushels to the
acre.—News-Republican.
Two boys, aged 14 and 15 respect-
ively, were arrested at Perry August
2, for fighting. One of the boys was
sitting on a keg in front of a saloon
when the other came along. A few
words were passed and the fight be-
gan, which ended in one of the boys
drawing his knife and stabbing the
other.
The oldest man in the Indian ter-
ritory lives near Fort Gibson and his
name is Edwin Berry. He is 108
years old. He was torn in Virginia
in 1794 and has lived in three cen-
turies. The old man is living with
his second wife, who is now about 80
years old. He has a son about sixty
years old.
From Mulhall, O. T. comes the
report that Jas. Bellew threshed
twenty-six and a quarter bushels of
rye per acre from the field just south
of the ranch residence. This field
of rye was pastured all fall and win-
ter and as late as May this spring,
which fact makes the yield quite
remarkable.
Bill Cross is quoted by the Alva
Review as having said to a group in
Alva recently: "I'm just a com-
mon man. When they ask me if I
am a lawyer I usually answer, with
all due respect to the calling, that
I'm an honest man. I can't make a
speech but I'll have a friend with me
when I wisit you in September who is
a cracker-jack."
Nothing has been heard from E.
R. Strong, the farmer who disap-
peared from his home north of Nar-
din, O. T., one week ago last Friday.
His family entertained fears for some
time after his disappearance that he
had met with foul play but it is now
believed that he became discouraged
with the out.ook and, being deeply
in debt, just simply left the country.
His brother, C. C. Strong, oi Grand
Ridge, 111., is nowhere and is in-
clined to accept the above version of
the affair. From all indications the
missing man had not a great deal of
money about his person at the time
of his disappearance.—Star.
Sportsmen in the Chickasaw nation
are preparing for a wolf chase No-
vember 10. The hounds will be
started on Criner creek near Lind-
say. The chase will be a match race
for $1,000 between the Hudspeth
pack of Sibley, Mo., and the Eird-
song pack of Texas. J. E. Irons, of
this place, will handle the Missouri
dogs and R. J. Pooley of Texas, will
handle the Birdsong dogs.
